Sunday 10th of July

10th of July 2011

I had a fantastic day last Sunday I was face painting just down the road at the Alma Street Fair, I was working with my good friend Karla Barchieri. It was a long day but so much fun, non stop face painting!

Only managed to get one picture but Karla got loads just waiting for her to send then over.

My lovely son Buster let me paint him as I wanted a model to run around and do a bit of advertisement for us however I did have to pay him £1!

Today's job Papa Lion

I did a birthday party today and the father of the birthday boy wanted to get face painted, he had a great picture of Bob Marley on his t-shirt with lions so that's what I did for him, I think it really suited him but his facial hair was hard to hide on the muzzle but looks great on his chin.

One of the Ladies wanted a Peacock type mask so I did something like a a peacock feather but I used her dress as inspiration

Idid a face painting job for a adults birthday party

and it was so much fun all the guest wanted something done and I had so much fun trying to create all there mad ideas of what they wanted to be painted.

Super busy few weeks

I Painted at the Disney Premier of Cars 2 and we where hired for one hour to paint as many children as possible, these were some of the things I did not great but very quick and the kids loved it.

I painted these at an adult corporate company party it was great, the staff where divided in to teams of colors and they a played all kinds of games, they had giant bouncy castle, massage, face painting and the incredible Miss ballooniverse (http://www.missballooniverse.co.uk/)was there doing her amazing balloon models and later on there was A LOT of champagne floating around. What a great party!

I Painted this at a childrens birthday party, after all the kids had their faces painted and some balloon models the adults started coming over, I did't have much time to get lots pictures but I managed to get this one which I was really pleased with.

Busy Weekend

Some pictures of the children at the second party on Saturday, we had such a great time, the kids had a bouncy castle on the street and I set up on the pavement, luckily the weather held out and I managed to paint 27 kids in the two hour but they all wanted more they just could not enough .

Cousins who love Ben10
I just would not be the same if I didn't paint a spiderman and Tiger.


I always hope that I can get two jobs on the same day but as I don't have party time slots and fit in to the times the parents need me its some times just impossible, well this weekend it happened both Saturday and Sunday.
To My surprise on Friday I had Saturday free but then in the afternoon two call and two bookings for Saturday, one in the morning at a Cinema doing promotion for Pirates of the Caribbean 9am to 12noon then another birthday party 5pm to 7pm. Sunday I had two birthday party next to where I live, luckily the first parents adjusted there party time so that I could be there and paint for them.

All the girls painting, forgot to upload these picture last week.

Today I hosted my second face painting class at Flaxon Ptootch , Salon/Gallery at 237 Kentish Town RoadCity, London NW5 2JT (Tammy and Michael for letting me use the space) and what a great time we had, I was really luck to have a great bunch of students all very eager to learn how to face paint.

The organizing side of things was not my favorite bit, chasing people for deposits, making sure I had enough people in the class, last minute drop out, all of that was a bit of a nightmare but it did somehow all come together in the end.

We managed to get through a lot in a small amount of time and I think the end results look fab especially as some of the students had never painted before. Hopefully the class has given them loots to get started and be inspire to keep improving their skills as face painters be that as a professional painter or just for fun with there kids.
